“Bring out your dead!” …or just bring your curiosity to the Fruitport District Library!

Join us for our World Lecture Series as librarian and local historian Matt Lubbers-Moore discusses one of history’s most infamous events: The Black Death. Learn about the plague that reshaped Europe, changed society forever, and made people very suspicious of rats.

Discover the history, myths, medicine, and sheer chaos surrounding the pandemic that swept across the medieval world. Don’t worry, unlike the 1300s, we’ll have air conditioning, comfortable seating, and significantly fewer fleas.

📍 Fruitport District Library
🎙 Presented by Matt Lubbers-Moore
🌍 1pm on Thursday, June 11

Free and open to the public.

From our friends at the Lower Grand River Organization of Watersheds - Grand Valley Metro Council

A reminder that storm drains flow directly to our local rivers and streams — not to a treatment plant.

After mowing, take a minute to blow grass clippings back onto your lawn instead of into the street. Grass clippings can benefit your lawn by returning nutrients to the soil, but those same nutrients can harm our local waterways when they wash into storm drains.

Keeping clippings out of the street is an easy way to help protect our watershed.

Step up to the plate for a home run of history at the Fruitport District Library!

Our Michigan Lecture Series is really pitching something special on Thursday, May 14 at 1 PM for a deep dive into the grand slam of a season that was 1908 baseball. ⚾️

Local amateur historian Dan Lavin will knock it out of the park as he slides into stories, stats, and scandals from one of baseball’s most legendary seasons. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just here for the history, this program is sure to be a real hit.

Don’t strike out! Join us for an afternoon that’s guaranteed to be bat-ter than the rest!
